Consultation After our initial consultation and appointment with you, we carry out a full measured survey and develop the design brief into preliminary drawings, usually with several alternative proposals, to ensure you end up with the design which most suits your needs and budget. We pride ourselves on our efficiency and effectiveness and can provide completed design drawings within 1 - 2 weeks.
	Planning Once you have decided upon the design you like, we produce the full working drawings and documentation required for submitting a planning application to the DOE Divisional Planning Office, and as your agent deal with all queries directly and paperwork requirements the Planners may have. From the time a planning permission application is submitted to the granting of Approval takes approximately 2-3months , but this depends on the type of application.
	Building Control Once planning permission has been granted, we prepare and submit all relevant drawings, specifications and documentation to obtain Local Authority Building Control Approval. This ensures that the design meets all the current Building Regulations. Construction may commence as soon as the Building Control Application has been submitted.
	Tender Process At your request we will send full tender documentation to three building companies and invite them to submit a competitive tender for carrying out the works. We pride ourselves on the select list of builders we use, most of whom we have had a professional relationship with for more than 20 years. Upon receipt of the building quotations, we carry out a full tender analysis and assist you in appointing the most suitable contractor to carry out the work. We then issue a full set of construction drawings and documents to you and the builder.
	Project Management We can provide Full Project Management Services for the supervision of construction, Interim Valuations, and Architects Certification for Self Build Mortgages.
